The River. Subsided and returning to itself..

Now accessible again. The Wansbeck is full of life... However, I got caught up with the life of the water itself..
and a Goosander.


Under this bridge..


The Stepping Stones are now visible and useable. I nearly lost my standing in the community as passers by begged my pardon and tried to walk past...



Various sprites reveal themselves in their passing..


Interesting questions arise from standing crooked and sideways over the river. . . about photons and their states of existence. The speed at which they convey information to a camera-ready recipient, blessed by evolution with the ability to make use of them for survival and fun...

The photon is an elementary particle, despite the fact that it has no mass. It cannot decay on its own, although the energy of the photon can transfer (or be created) upon interaction with other particles.

It could be said that Photons need us as much as we need them then...

Photons are spin-1 particles (making them bosons), with a spin axis that is parallel to the direction of travel (either forward or backward, depending on whether it's a "left-hand" or "right-hand" photon). This feature is what allows for polarization of light.

So, slip on your sunspecs and witness quantum physics in action..

This video, whilst having the customary American 'Downhome' quality, goes a long way to explaining the basis of Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle.
